Overview

Kitesurf

Les Amiets is a kitesurf spot on the Crozon peninsula (Finistère, Brittany), near Camaret-sur-Mer. Situated on the north side of the peninsula, the beach catches North to North-West and West to North-West winds blowing from the Atlantic and the Iroise Sea.

Spectacular scenery on the tip of the Crozon peninsula. Tide-dependent. Exposed Atlantic spot with consistent winds — a good option when westerly and northerly conditions prevail in Finistère.
